AT the fortnightly meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee Of che National
League held in Dublin last Tuesday,
the different speakers ridiculed the idea
that Mr. Goschen's acceptance Of the
Chancellorship of the Exchequer would
be the means of saving the present Con-
servative ministry. The treasurer re-
ported the receipt of $25,000 in dona-
tions to the League funds during the
past two weeks from the United States.

AN amusing anecdote is told of the
late Gen. Logan. During President
Grants term of Office it was Gen. Lo-
gsn's custom to call on the President
and request the bestowal of favors upon
his friends. He would ask for twelve or
thirteen fayors and have all but one
granted him, when he would leave in a
great rage saying that he had no in
huence with the administration. Mr..
Levi T. Morton would also cali upon the
President with as many favors and
would be refused all but one Or two,
when he would leave the President and
boast of his influence with the admin
istration.

q. P. M. TURNER, ESQ.,, has severed
his connection with the Memphis Scim-

Mr. Turner was an able Journalist, and

Two stories of royal muni6cence ap.
peared in the London gossip of last
week, says the Boston Pilot. The first
was an anecdote of how Queen Victoria,
acknowledging the gift of valuable
horse from King Humbert, of Italy, in
quired of the Kings envoy how she
could make a suitable present in return.
He replied by saying that one of the
cream-colored horses from Hampton
Court would please his royal masters
taste in horsehesh. The animal was
delivered but proved to be sorry
brute, evidently chosen because it was
80. The Italian was half ashamed to
take it home with him., but before he
had time to think much about it, a
royal equerry came with a request from
the Queen that the animal might be re-
turned, as it was wanted to make up q
team for some particular State occa
sion! The other instance of royal gem
erosity is recommendation from the
Duke Of Edinburgh, commander of the
Mediterranean squadron, that reduc-
tlon be made in the pay Of divers con-
nected with the royal navy. Those
skilled laborers are paid thirty cents an
hour, and two cents day extra when
engaged in actual diving. The roc,y,7al
duke gets considerably more than thirty
dollars an hour but he knows that
somebody is over paid, and thinks it
must be the divers who get that extra "a

LORD RANDOLPH's RESIGNATION.


When Lord Randolph Churchill re-
signed from the Salisbury Cabinet it
was believed, although the Tories
would try to make it appear otherwise,
that the young and irrepressible leader
was at variance with the Government
on the Irish question, and later devel-
opments have justified the suspicion.
1t transpires that Lord Randolph, as
was predicted by Justin Mccarthy, was
the most humane member of the British
Cabinet. He opposed the adoption OF
violent measures in Ireland, and he
was undoubtedly sincere when he
stated some few months ago that he
was in favor of conciliatory policy,
for his subsequent actions bear him out
in that assertion. He would not have
the Government deliberately take upon
itself the responsibility for such acts of
rapine and cruelty as the Marquis of
Clanricarde and other landlords OF the
same class wished to perpetrate. Eie
would not, it is said, by destroying the
liberty of debate and all the lights OF
the minority in Parliament, prevent
the complaints aud remonstrances OF
the Irish representatives from being
heard. But the Tories, true to their
old-time policy, opposed everything
like tie advanced democratic spirit
Lord Randolph would have infused
into their actions, and when in posses
sion Of power, encouraged by Lord
Harrington and the dissidents, insisted
that the country must be governed &C
cording to it's old-time methods; so
Lord Randolph finding that instead OF
leading he would have to follow, re-
signed. He also objected to the drain
that is being made on the purses OF
British taxpayers for purposes that are
never intelligibly defined by the de-
partrnents having control of such ex-
penditure. He was also opposed i'll
this matter.
With all his faults, Lord Randolph
had the ability to fill his official position
much better than Mr.. Goschen, who
has, It's officially announced. accepted
the Office. of Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer. The latter, although he will
not be the leader of the Conservative
party in the House of Commons, gets
control of the appointments, and the
result will necessitate a ageneral recon
struction Of the Cabinet. Previous to
accepting the Office, Mr.. Goschen AYERS

against the jurisdiction of the court, but were
overruled, whereupon they submitted an
swer denying that there was any ground for the
appointments of a receiver and setting out that
the acts complained of by Duckworth were all
done under the management of Ives, but that

Concerning the charge made by Duckworth that
the salary of Vice president and General Man
ager G. G. Waite had been raised within year
from sc, 900 to $25 600 year the answer says
that Mr. Waites salary for more than year
prior to June. 1886, $l5 600, and that it was
increased, not at various times, but at one time
to $25, 000 solely account of his business ca

an offer to take service with another company.
The answer denies that Ives & Staynor were
